Our predictions for Everton vs Aston Villa
Match Prediction: Everton 2-0 Aston Villa
Everton's recent form suggests they could dominate this match. With two wins in their last three games, including a convincing 3-2 victory away at Wolverhampton and a solid 2-0 home win against Brighton, Everton appear to be finding their rhythm. Their attacking play has been sharp, and they will look to exploit Aston Villa's recent defensive frailties, as evidenced by Villa's back-to-back losses.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, have struggled lately, failing to score in their last three outings. Their inability to find the net against Crystal Palace, Brentford, and Newcastle indicates a lack of cutting edge up front. While they have the potential to cause problems for Everton, their current form suggests they might struggle to break down a confident Everton side.
